1
In many parts, and many ways, God of old having spoken to the fathers in the prophets,
2
in these last days did speak to us in a Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He did make the ages;
3
who being the brightness of the glory, and the impress of His subsistence, bearing up also the all things by the saying of his might -- through himself having made a cleansing of our sins, sat down at the right hand of the greatness in the highest,
4
having become so much better than the messengers, as he did inherit a more excellent name than they.
5
For to which of the messengers said He ever, `My Son thou art -- I to-day have begotten thee?' and again, `I will be to him for a father, and he shall be to Me for a son?'
